Hello all,
I was just wondering. My Macbook Pro is starting to slowly but surely feel its age (late 2008). Now since Apple never wanted to do it and my warranty is off anyways I really REALLY would love to exchange my internal DVD drive with a newer, better working one.
I'm pretty sure theres a lot of people having the issue of a good 2/3 of discs not even start burning or getting spit out somewhere half way due to the poor (or shall I say cheap?) drives used by Apple. Since recently it now won't even read burned discs no more and simply display them as empty and burnable... UCK!
I recently decided to upgrade (instead of buying a new one) my MBP. So far I've stuffed in additional RAM along with an SSD drive and as a next step I'd really like to exchange my drive for a better one.
However I couldn't really find anything smart or trustworthy on the web, so I thought I'd ask here as I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people here who know what they're doing
I know there's the possibility of getting external drives but I would really prefer it to be inside as I do travel a lot with it. However if you say it's not possible I guess it's time to replace my ODD with another SSD
Thanks in advance for the people that'll take time to answer.
Cheers,
KD
